    I just put $3000 down on Atlanta +4 with a bookmaker from NY am I big time?

    What is the criteria that you need to be in to be considered big time? I haven't made a bet in over 6 months, but this is something I've never felt stronger about. If I win this does this put me on a different level then amateurs?

    haha that made me laugh. I meant Atlanta Falcons +4, however I do think the Hawks are worth the +7. Wow do we do a classic Atlanta weekend parlay? 1k straight parlay. Hawks +7/Falcons +4. Nelly would be proud.

    if that 3k is a small % of your bankroll, you might be big time, but if that is a large % of your bankroll (or all in) and if you lose then you won't make another bet for another 6 months, then no not big time, just dumb lol.

    Good luck with the Falcons.

    I don't see it personally.

    Could be big time in some neighborhoods.

    Good luck but there are better wagers
    to go big time on.

    This is just an average play. I'm not dumb enough to bet over my head. Win or lose I don't become rich while also not putting myself behind the bread line if I lose. I like the action and have waited for a play like this where I thought I couldn't lose.

    The fact that you came on here posting a stupid ass question like this shows you are on a different level of loserness.

    Don't think they are the better team.

    I do think they have a chance since they are a good home team but not necessarily the better team.

    That depends on the size of your available bankroll....

    If this 3k bet is more than 10% of your bankroll,you would definitely be a BIGTiME insane degenerate...............

    I don't really have a bankroll to gamble because I haven't made a bet in like 6 months. I can easily cover the loss, but win or lose this will be my only play for awhile.

    Well if this possible loss does not hurt you financially or emotionally, this is just a normal bet then............

    I think seeking validation on a gambling forum probably invalidates any clout gained from the big play. So... no.

    This is easy money. I wished you have the balls to bet the Falcons ML +180. Falcons are not losing tomorrow. I guarantee it!
